Title: Internal shoulder bars for squeeze chutes and the like
Inventor: ROSS BARRY
IPC: A01K15/04
Filed: 2005-02-28
Abstract: A shoulder bar apparatus is adapted for attachment inside an animal chute comprising a headgate and side panels movably mounted on the chute frame. The apparatus comprises right and left vertical shoulder bars movably mounted to corresponding sides of the chute frame rearward of the headgate, each shoulder bar having a top end above a neck location and a bottom end below the neck location.

The contro l unit, which controls the measuring and the evaluation of the measurement, consists of a portable unit to be worn externally on the skin. The viscosity is measured on the basis of the rotation of a measuring element (35), which is located inside the sensor (1') and which can be driven by a drive magnet (24 ) also located inside the sensor (1'). The rotation of the measuring element (35) is analyzed based on the subsiding behavior thereof after the drive magnet (24) is switched off. In a second embodiment, the viscosity of the mixture is measured on the basis of the oscillatory behavior of an oscillati ng element, which is located inside the sensor and which can be set in oscillatory motion by a magnet also located inside the sensor. The oscillato ry behavior is analyzed based on the subsiding behavior of the oscillating element after the magnet is switched off.

IPC: B01D61/08
Filed: 2005-07-26
Abstract: A two-vessel liquid separation apparatus includes a pump and its motor submersed in a one vessel and a reverse osmosis membrane in the other vessel. The vessels are separated by a contiguous dividing wall. The membrane and the pump are in fluid communication with one another through the dividing wall so as to allow liquid to pass from one vessel to the other in accordance with a given geometry. The pump receives liquid from the membrane containing vessel through holes in the dividing wall, the pump creating a highly turbulent flow caused by a cyclonic and co-axial effect, directly at the lower end of the membrane; the connexion of the pump outlet at the dividing wall is very close to the membrane thus providing an optimal efficiency of turbulence and flow at critical locations of bacteria collection. The injection of new liquid to be concentrated at the inlet of the pump caus es an immediate mixture of liquid to be concentrated with concentrated liquid, which mixture circulates rapidly in a close circuit between the first and second vessels.

Inventor: KIM SEOK-JIN
IPC: A47L13/17
Filed: 2004-06-04
Abstract: Described are preferred sanitary cleaning devices that include a disposable cleaning head (22) portion and a handle portion (21). The cleaning head is releasably connectable to the handle portion. The handle portion includes a pair of elongate rods (24, 25) laterally spaced relative to one another and capable of deflection toward one another. The rods present prongs (28, 29) that are selectively received within and removed from apertures (48, 49) provided in the cleaning head. To attach the cleaning head to the handle, the rods are deflected, for example by compressing a grip area, and the prongs are positioned adjacent the receiving apertures, and thereafter the rods are released. This causes the prongs to be received within the apertures, to connect the cleaning head to the handle. Preferred devices of the invention are advantageous in that the user need not touch the cleaning head or adjacent areas expected to contact materials from the toilet to achieve connection and removal of the head from the handle. Preferred devices also incorporate handle and attachment features with relatively smooth surfaces, minimizing their capacity to become soiled. In this fashion, more sanitary cleaning operations and storage features are provided.
Patent CA-2528957-A1 (CA)
Title: Rotary engine system
Inventor: BASTIAN DOUGLAS R
IPC: F02B55/00
Filed: 2004-06-09
Abstract: This rotary internal combustion engine has two rotatable vane type pistons (A1, A2) mounted for axial rotation in a sealed casing (1). Engageable locking mechanisms (5, 6) can lock the two pistons (A1, A2) in position proximate to each other so as to form a combustion space (7) between the two pistons (A1, A2). In an exemplary cycle, one piston (A2) is released to rotate at or prior to initiating combustion in the combustion space (7), while the other (A1) remains fixed. As the free piston (A2) rotates around to the position where the fixed piston (A1) is located, it drives exhaust from a prior cycle out of an exhaust outlet (8) and then compresses air towards the combustion space (7). The roles of the pistons (A1, A2) are reversed on the next cycle with the piston (A1) that was fixed before becoming the moving piston (A1) and the piston (A2) that was moving before becoming the fixed piston (A2). Two units may be operated in tandem so that the power stroke of one unit provides power to help finalize the cycle of the other unit and rotate the moving piston all the way to the fixed piston position. Hydrogen is used as a preferred fuel, generating water vapor as a combustion byproduct.
